I don't believe that there were that many Dubs that acted like rubes and hicks at the various hotels & motels.I don't know XJW, I've seen brothers fill up their thermos bottles and water coolers (the portable one they use on job-sites) with milk, coffee and juice at the free breakfast buffets in the hotels.
I've also seen them grab the ENTIRE fruit basket and pass them out at lunch breakk.
It's hard to believe, but I guess I gotta!
How sad is it to attend a meeting whose sole purpose is to remind you of the importance of attending the meeting?
Was ready to have a freakin' nervous breakdown!

A wedding talk given by a single brother, never been married and spent 20 minutes on sex and how to please one another.
What Subject Did You HATE Hearing About At The Meetings?
THE FAITHFLESS DECEITFUL SLAVE
SUBJECTION within the marraige - it would always amuse me how it was the same elders covering this usually ,and to watch certain sisters squirm in their seats and then reach deep down into that theocratic pool within and put their hands up and make that supreme sacrifice of a textbook comment theocratically ,all the while mincing inside - "oh what wonderful sacrifices we sisters make for Jehovah!"
And the men silently shuffling paper or elders going into their huge kingdom hall bags as a question on subjection is fired at the congregation....and then one finally relents with a deep voiced answer equally theocratic but then softened on the edges so his wife does'nt turn off the sex tap for a month
Anything having to do with obedience or subjection.....for children or wives......I bet there are still gouges in the wooden arms of the seats where I use to sit....either by pens as I stabbed or my own finger nails as I gripped in frustration.
Especially after weekends of hearing calls from my mom's best friend after she was beaten so hard her back, shoulders, and breasts were purple and green from being beaten by her charming husband. Of course both were lifetime witnesses. Elders were called in, my father being one of them and the majority of those morons accused her of giving him a reason to beat her......my father was appalled and furious.
But by god the women must be in subjection and so must the daughters of these abusers.

how "violent" video games corrupted the youth. i love killing people in these violetn video games!
having long hair and the beard thing bothered me too. i really hate shaving its the only part of being in the army i dont like. as for long hair ive always shaved my head and all of my friends we all buzzed it reall short. i remeber one time we all went to go visit another hall and we took up a whole row. the next day one of our friends dad asked us why we all buzz our heads, because some brother was concerned that we looked like nazi's! I couldnt believe it.
I hated most all of it towards the end. But earlier, I particularly hated the public talks that would go on and on about all the horrible things happening in the world. By the time they got around to saying anything good, I was about to have a panic attack and was practicing my breathing exercises and closing my eyes pretending to be somewhere else.
The continuous sales meetings called service meetings were hard to stomach as was the continual self-praising of Witnesses and putting everyone else down.
Towards the end, I had to leave several times in the middle of the meeting, as it made me just too emotional because I knew it was all a pack of lies.
Everything that made me feel like I was sinning/missing the mark in some way.
And you know what, every meeting points out something you are failing in. That is their trap
Big one Masturbation.
Everybody does it, everybody in the hall feels guilty when it is said, and every Elder that gives the talk sounds like they never hear let alone masturbate before.
Second one is Lying.
All those of you that 'never' masturbate parents, elders, you, are all especially guilty. So you have to work extra hard to maintain the lie for your peers, children, out on the service. Then sin cycle continues.
Its easy to do it for masturbation. But everything the watchtower says makes you feel guilty despite all the innocent looking faces in the hall.
